4. What are the different types of questions that can be asked from a Reading Comprehension?
Explain.
Answer.
There are many different types of questions that can be asked from a reading comprehension passage.
Here are some of the most common types:

Literal comprehension questions: These questions ask you to recall specific information from the
passage. For example, they might ask you to define a word, identify a character's motivation, or
summarize a main event.
Inferential comprehension questions: These questions ask you to go beyond the information that is
explicitly stated in the passage and make inferences based on what you have read. For example, they
might ask you to predict what will happen next, explain the author's purpose, or draw conclusions about
the characters' thoughts or feelings.
Critical thinking questions: These questions ask you to evaluate the information that you have read and
form your own opinions and judgments. For example, they might ask you to compare and contrast two
different passages, assess the author's credibility, or identify the author's bias.

In addition to these three main types of questions, there are also a number of other types of questions
that can be asked from a reading comprehension passage. For example, you might be asked to identify
the main idea, supporting details, and conclusion of a passage, or to explain the sequence of events. You
might also be asked to identify the author's tone, style, or purpose, or to analyze the use of language
and literary devices.

Here are some examples of different types of reading comprehension questions:

Literal comprehension:

* What is the main idea of the passage?

* What are the supporting details for the main idea?
* What is the conclusion of the passage?
* Who are the main characters in the passage?
* What is the setting of the passage?
* What is the conflict in the passage?
* How is the conflict resolved?

Inferential comprehension:

* Why did the character do what they did?

* What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?
* What does the author imply about the characters or the situation?
* What can you predict will happen next?
* What are the characters' thoughts and feelings?

Critical thinking questions:

* Do you agree with the author's point of view? Why or why not?
* What are the strengths and weaknesses of the author's argument?
* What other perspectives could be considered on this issue?
* What are the implications of the author's argument for society?
Reading comprehension questions can be challenging, but they are important because they help you to
develop your critical thinking skills and to understand the information that you read. By practicing
answering different types of reading comprehension questions, you can improve your reading
Comprehension skills and become a better reader.

5. Define Leadership. Explain the different types of leadership profiles.

Answer.
Leadership is the ability to inspire and influence others to achieve a common goal. It is a complex skill
that involves a variety of different behaviors and qualities.

There are many different types of leadership profiles, but some of the most common include:

 Authoritarian leadership: Authoritarian leaders make decisions without consulting their team
members. They expect their team members to follow their instructions without question.
Democratic leadership: Democratic leaders involve their team members in the decision-making process.
They value input from their team members and encourage them to participate in discussions.
 Laissez-faire leadership: Laissez-faire leaders give their team members a great deal of
autonomy. They provide minimal guidance and support, and they expect their team members to
be self-motivated.
 Transformational leadership: Transformational leaders inspire and motivate their team
members to achieve great things. They create a vision for the future and help their team
members to see their role in achieving that vision.
 Transactional leadership: Transactional leaders focus on rewarding and punishing their team
members based on their performance. They use a system of rewards and punishments to
motivate their team members to achieve their goals.

No one leadership profile is perfect for every situation. The best type of leadership will vary depending
on the task at hand, the team members involved, and the organizational culture.

Here are some examples of different leadership profiles in action:

 Authoritarian leadership: A military general might use an authoritarian leadership style to give
orders to their soldiers.
 Democratic leadership: A school principal might use a democratic leadership style to involve
teachers in the decision-making process about school policy.
 Laissez-faire leadership: A CEO of a tech startup might use a laissez-faire leadership style to give
their employees a lot of autonomy to develop new products and services.
 Transformational leadership: A civil rights leader might use a transformational leadership style
to inspire and motivate people to fight for social change.
 Transactional leadership: A sales manager might use a transactional leadership style to
motivate their sales team to achieve their sales goals.

Effective leaders are able to adapt their leadership style to the situation at hand. They are also able to
build relationships with their team members and create a positive work environment.

6. Explain the four quadrants of the Johari Window in detail. Use your own examples.
Answer.
The Johari Window is a model for understanding and improving self-awareness and interpersonal
relationships. It was developed in the 1950s by Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham.

The Johari Window is divided into four quadrants:

 Open Area

This quadrant represents the information that is known to both you and others. This includes
information such as your name, your occupation, your hobbies, and your interests.

 Hidden Area

This quadrant represents the information that is known to you but not to others. This could include your
thoughts, feelings, opinions, and values. It could also include your skills and talents that you haven't
shared with others.

 Blind Area

This quadrant represents the information that is known to others but not to you. This could include your
blind spots, your weaknesses, and the way that others perceive you.

 Unknown Area

This quadrant represents the information that is unknown to both you and others. This could include
untapped potential, hidden talents, and unconscious biases.

Here are some examples of the four quadrants of the Johari Window:

Open Area: You are a software engineer and you tell your friends and family about your work.
Hidden Area: You are shy and you don't feel comfortable sharing your personal thoughts and feelings
with others.
Blind Area: You are unaware that you are a good listener and that people appreciate your ability to
empathize with them.
Unknown Area: You have a hidden talent for writing poetry, but you don't even know it yourself.

The Johari Window can be used to improve self-awareness and interpersonal relationships in a number
of ways. For example, you can use the Johari Window to:

* Identify your blind spots and areas for improvement.

* Share more about yourself with others in order to build deeper relationships.
* Ask others for feedback on how they perceive you.
* Explore your hidden talents and potential.

The Johari Window is a simple but powerful tool that can help you to better understand yourself and
others. By using the Johari Window, you can improve your communication skills, build stronger
relationships, and achieve your goals.
